I'm a PSYCHOPATH! Yes, run while you still can -insert evil laugh-
In case you're wondering what my nick is all about, here goes. Today, i was informed by a substitute tutor that a classmate and i have both been selected to undergo a psychometric assessment on June 2, 2005 in school from 8am to 12noon. And it has absolutely no bearing on my mental health *ducks to avoid any flying objects*, it's supposedly organised by the PSC (that's the Public Service Commission for you confused folks out there) to identify potential scholars *looks at self and wonders aloud "HUH!?!?!"*
Yes, as you can tell, the fruitcake isnt exactly what you would call scholarship material. Sure, i know how to handle myself in an interview (a good portion of the time) and say erm the right things at appropriate times (on most occasions), but fancy me as a scholar? Geez... and to think that this is a goverment body (which means govt scholarships)... I mean, I ain't exactly the most patriotic person around, although a few years ago, I would have been considered as a pretty staunch patriot (yup, I used to be one of those severely deluded kids who would defend her country, which she can't stand now). So I think they havent exactly thought as to whether their shortlisted candidates are even loyal and patriotic to begin with. And on the basis that we were selected based on our academic results, erm, I have to say I didn't exactly perform up to par judging on my previous performances this year, but oddly, that was enough to guarantee me a spot in the top 120 in the school *scratches head*.
SO yea, that marks the portion about me being a psychopath. Haha, or not. I attended the National Economics and Fund Management Quiz briefing today. It's the preliminary round, funny how they only need 10 people in the finals, who may not even come from those in the prelim round. Yes, we are ONLY there to bloody help the school enter the finals, after that, at least 80% of us will get thrown out and left to sit on the sidelines (or in Ms Ng, the bio lecturer's words, "sit, sulk, and die", gotta love her bio lectures, it's unbelievably funny that most of the time, we come out of lectures remembering absolutely nothing but her jokes haha). Well I hope we get something outta it (well, I must have a vested interest in it, or else I wouldn't be in it, would I ? *smirks*), for eg, a Participation, or maybe a Representation point for our PEARLS point. I had a glance at some example questions and some were just plain weird.... haha, but what do I care anyway? At the most, I'd just have a field day insulting the NUS students or lecturers that came up with some of the more nonsensical questions (due to my lack of economic knowledge or logic <--- I'm supposedly in the 100th percentile for logic, according to tickle.com..blasphemous!! I should be in the 1000th percentile!! *ducks from the flying objects*) after the quiz itself, try to watch Star Wars Episode 3 (anyone up for it? Msg me please? Heh *bambi eyes*), go home and start studying *sits, sulks and dies* hahaha... Ok, shoot me, I shouldn't be living anyway. Anyhow, due to this "quiz", I get to miss College Day! Yay, haha never fancied those stuff anyway. In secondary school, I always belonged to the group of people standing foolishly under the scorching sun, waiting for the Guest-of-Honour to arrive (in case you're misled, I'm referring to the Guard-of-Honour, for 3 out of my 4 years there, I was a GOH in the Red Cross contingent..bleh... heh, but it did get pretty fun back then, despite my severe dislike for foot drill).
Sometimes, I would reminisce about my Red Cross days, more often the last 4 years of it, rather than the earlier 4 years (not much of a memory of those years except our rather pathetic attempt at foot drill, those health laws, the posters, the tea parties and tha bandaging). Thinking about it, I reckon I have a love-hate relationship with the RC. Hated the foot drill, hated the pumping, hated the way they punished us, hated the scoldings, hated some of the ma'ams and sometimes even hated the activities. But yet, i enjoyed the course (RCKIC), the circuit trainings (TJC ought to take a leaf from TKGRCY), the time spent chattering in the RC room in sec 3 and sec 4, enjoyed going to competitions and winning stuff back (the glory and honour, indescribable), enjoyed being in one of the best units in the East District (and Singapore =P), the bond shared among squad mates (something you will probably never find anywhere else, guys, don't get started on NS haha), enjoyed the time and effort we put into Talentime, Infoquiz and CAC. I am not going to say I enjoyed torturing the juniors, because I didn't do much of it back then. Oddly, today I was talking to a squad mate about certain stuff back there and it kinda got me thinking... perhaps I live too much in the past. *shrugs*
I'm a 3rd year student in what is probably the largest autonomous university in Singapore majoring in a Science-related subject (well it sorta IS SCIENCE). I'm known to be introverted, sarcastic (at times), funny when I rant (which isn't a good thing lol) and somewhat of a loner. I miss LA and would move there in a heartbeat :(
